A few more Christmas pictures for your visual delight:

Jason also wanted DJ Hero for Christmas.  Didn’t I tell you they were twins??

Some of the embroidered stockings for the grandkids.  Cute, huh.  Slightly jealous that I didn’t get one and considered fighting the 3 yr old for his, but I knew that would be downright Scrooge-ish of me.  Plus he had a mean right hook.

Libby has a little yorkie puppy named Piper.  Piper and Marni did not become besties like we all hoped.  Marni has only child syndrome mixed in with a little California snooty syndrome so she’s got years of therapy ahead of her.

Christmas presents and gang signs obviously go together in our family.

My brother-in-law Darrell is a computer nerd genius.  Love ya, D!

And now for Jamie’s gift to me, besides Audrina Partridge in a pear tree:

The HP mini 110 in white.  But this isn’t just any laptop that fits in your pocket.  Darrell, the computer genius, and Jason, the computer salesman, rebuilt the thing and put a solid state drive in it.  I don’t know what that means either, but it works really fast. and still fits in my pocket.

This is now what my professional workstation looks like:

All together now, “awwwhhh, how cute.”

Wanna see what I got Jaybob??

A new Ford explorer!  or something.  a Ford something or rather.

Actually, truth be told, I got him a Reese’s peanut butter cup (what, it was king sized!) and his employer gave him a new company car.  Sure wish my employer would do that… ahem, dad.

Alright, enough of this gibberish.  I’m off to pack.  We’re leaving at 0′dark thirty for Mammoth Mountain tomorrow to go snowboarding!
